I don't know why the poor Irishman is always the butt of those Englishman, Scotsman and Irishman jokes, but that's the way it has always been. Here's one -

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman were due to be executed by firing squad. The Englishman who was to go first said to the others "I've got an idea. Watch what I do" and when he was brought forward and the Captain of the Guard called out "Ready, aim..." the Englishman shouted out "Earthquake!" This caused complete panic, and in the confusion the Englishman escaped.
The Scotsman said to the Irishman "Oh, I see" and when it was his turn and the Captain of the Guard called out "Ready, aim..." the Scotsman shouted out "Tornado!" and again caused panic which enabled him to escape in the confusion.
The Irishman thought to himself "Oh, Oi get it, so Oi do" and when it was his turn and the Captain of the Guard called out "Ready, aim..." the Irishman confidently shouted out "Fire!".
